ALL YOU PULSE-FINDERS WHO'VE LATCHED ONTO THE EXELLENCE OF PERMA STONED PSYCHEDELICISTS LIKE 'THE MUSIC' AND 'THE CORAL': DON'T MISS THIS ONE ! . CARDIFF SEXTET ZABRINSKI HAVE ALL THE RIGHT CREDENTIALS - THE YOUTHFULLNESS , THE BOTHERED-WHAT-YOU-THINK-OF-US AESTHETIC - BUT BLASTED THROUGH A CLIFF FACE OF DIGITAL FREAKERY AND OUTCROPS OF FUCKED NOISE.
YETI IS A TREMENDOUS ALBUM OF WARP-BLURRED HEAVY
PSYCHEDELIA, IF THERE'S ANY JUSTICE IT'LL BE HAILED AS THE
NEXT CHAPTER IN A LEGACY OF WELSH ROCK MAVERICKS . -NME

A CYNIC MIGHT LABEL ZABRINSKI AS A JUNIOR SFA WITH FEWER TUNES , BUT THIS WOULD MISS THE POINT . THEY CAN WRITE A TUNE FOR SURE , BUT AN INNATE MISCHIEF COVERS EVERYTHING IN BANKS OF FREAKISH NOISE . ASIDE FROM PREVIOUS SINGLE 'FREEDOM OF THE HIWAY' - A STUNNINGLY MELODIOUS APPROPRIATION OF VINTAGE NEW ORDER - IT'S HARD TO NAIL SPECIFIC INFLUENCES . WE'D GUESS THE VARIOUS MEMBERS OWNED STUFF ON WARP AND REPHLEX , GOING ON THE FRACTIOUS , PINGPONGING ELECTRONICA ON NEARLY EVERY TRACK . 'MERCURY REV' FROM THE BRASS-LED AND CONTEMPLATIVE 'RATTLESNAKE ON ICE' ; RANDOM BITS OF THE BEACH BOYS , SPACEMEN 3 , BOO RADLEYS AND VINTAGE DUB . BUT IT'S NOT IMPORTANT . A TRIUMPH BOTH FOR ZABRINSKI AND ANKSTMUSIK - THIS MIGHT BE THEIR MOST SONIALLY CREATIVE AND OVERARCHING RECORD YET . DON'T LET THIS ONE PASS YOU BY .
